Seriously...

What's with these Flash games and shitty, sticky controls?!!! I just played three games with AWESOME controls on here so I know it's possible. Why? WHY? It always kills games with such awesome potential.

Could you be more specific on what the issue is so I can check it out? I don't have any control issues on any of my test systems, and about 99,000+ people didn't have any issues with it either ;)

Also, be sure to read the updates in the author comments, there are known issues with flash in chrome on a mac (interestingly chrome on pc is fine) that will affect some games, but is out of our hands as flash developers.. so far the only few control issues have been attributed to that, so if you're using a mac and google chrome, try it in another browser.It sounds like you've had these issues with at least a few games, so that's where I would start.
